semilaterer

/ˌsɛmiˈleɪtərər/

A technical comparative adjective used to describe biological or seasonal processes that are more 'semilate'—occurring or maturing slightly further into the late season than the standard mid-season varieties, but not yet reaching the full late-season peak. It is typically utilized in phenology and agricultural science to precisely categorize the timing of harvests or blooming cycles.
